Interesting since Colin has dogged on him of late. Looks like 1:15

Cowherd has always dogged on him. Johnny being out of the league quickly is one of the few predictions he can point back to as being correct.

Cowherd is the only talking head I can think of that runs a daily segment to everything hes said thats incorrect. Yet so many here have tried discrediting him. The guy knows what hes talking about and actually calls himself out when he's wrong

---

If he knew what he was talking about he wouldn't need a segment to point out all the stuff he was wrong about.

---

Oh wow. So, you've never said something that was wrong. I bet your inner circle freaking loves you

I have barstool, get up and cowherd as background noise in the morning. It's a 100% fact that when he and JMac agree on a NFL line they were 78% for the year. That's basically impossible. AND he never talks politics or race (even though he's left)

What is a JMac? Is that the new McDonalds burger that the CEO is afraid to eat?

Really good interview. I'll still argue our 2012 team was the best in the country

---

Yeah man if only they'd played other teams in some sort of season format to prove it.

Greatest college football I ever saw. That said, he's irrelevant now.

I believe that the back judge in the LSU/A&M game in 2012 was on the take because he called penalties in areas in which he had no business watching. As a previous poster mentioned go back and watch the game. I saw the game live and was incensed at some of his calls.

The previous poster that didn't even know the score of the two games? Thats who we should go to for the inside scoop?

Officiating in college has always been incompetent which is WAY worse than fixed.

They lost to a top 5/10 Florida team in game 1. JFF's first game as a College QB by 1.

They were absolutely jobbed at home by the SEC and the mantra, A&M will not win in its first year by the ref's. 4 PI's. 1 legit 1 not. The other 2, at no time did we touch the receiver, ever during the play. All on 3rd and long. The nail in the coffin was the screen pass for a TD. LSU defense basically ran off the field to the right and we ran a screen back to the left. There was 1 LSU defender with in 40 yards of the ball carrier. Our 3 lineman destroyed him, and we scored a TD. Flag came in from Houston after the cannon fired... Chop block...

Did I mention all 5 flags were by the same ref? Don't believe me go watch the game.

Those were our 2 losses... both by 1 point.

Curious if you lived in another dimension where any of the above was true.

2012. It's over. Move on.

I liatened to about 10 minutes of Colin Cowherd once. He was doing some debate with himself about college basketball vs the NBA. His openly stated position was that the ONLY reason anyone could prefer college basketball over the NBA was if they were racist.

How anyone can stand to listen to 'tards talking to themselves for hours is inexplicable.

I thought the Florida game was 20 - 19.

Rewatch the LSU game, those calls were huge! Score was close enough that it mattered, a lot.

I appreciate your enthusiasm though some of your details are wrong including the final score lol. Also don't forget Taylor Bertolet missed two FGs and an XP that game. One of the great "what if" games in A&M history.

If there was a CFP back then, we would have been in it, with a great chance to win it all.

first round would have been in Baton Rouge. Clean up the TOs and we'd have had a shot to win.

If you subscribe to the "refs cheated" theory, then we lose again in Baton Rouge

I really enjoyed listening to Johnny "Johnny Football" Manziel on Collin Cowherd's radio show. They discussed many interesting topics.

Johnny Manziel, widely known as "Johnny Football," is one of the most polarizing and electric figures in recent sports history. His career is often viewed as a "tale of two tapes": a legendary, record-breaking college run followed by a brief, tumultuous professional career.
The Texas A&M Era (20122013)
Manziel became a household name at Texas A&M, where his backyard-style playmaking and dual-threat ability redefined the quarterback position in the SEC.
* Heisman History: In 2012, he became the first freshman ever to win the Heisman Trophy.
* Signature Moment: His most famous performance was leading the Aggies to an upset victory over No. 1 Alabama in Tuscaloosa, totaling 345 yards of offense.
* Stats: Across just two seasons, he accumulated nearly 10,000 yards of total offense and was responsible for 93 touchdowns. He was inducted into the Texas A&M Athletics Hall of Fame in 2022.
The NFL and Professional Struggles
Drafted 22nd overall by the Cleveland Browns in 2014, Manziel's transition to the NFL was fraught with off-field distractions and a lack of preparation.
* NFL Stint: He played only 14 games over two seasons, finishing with 7 passing touchdowns and 7 interceptions. He has since admitted in interviews and his Netflix documentary (Untold: Johnny Football) that he "hated Cleveland" and lacked the discipline to watch film or study playbooks.
* Post-NFL Leagues: After being waived by the Browns in 2016, he attempted various comebacks in the CFL (Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Montreal Alouettes), the AAF (Memphis Express), and Fan Controlled Football.
Life After Football (20252026)
As of 2026, Manziel has largely pivoted toward media and entrepreneurship, often appearing on podcasts like Impaulsive and sports shows like Undisputed to reflect on his journey.
* Personal Growth: He has been candid about his battles with bipolar disorder and substance abuse, often using his platform to offer advice to younger athletes about the pressures of early fame and the "NIL" era.
* Current Status: While he briefly considered a 10-year "re-do" comeback attempt in 2025, he remains a free agent and is primarily focused on his legacy at A&M and various business ventures, including his bar in College Station, "Johnny Manziel's Money Bar."

Build his damn statue. It's about football, not being a saint. He's one of the most accomplished college football players to grace the Aggie sidelines.

thanks for the long write up..and it isnt an attack on you but it seems they talked about the same things he has talked about countless times on any other podcast...nothing really new..

You're on an A&M football message board - everyone here saw the game live.

If it was today's game with a 12 team playoff they would have proved it. No doubt.

I know LSU would have made the field too and they beat us earlier in the year and again the next year, but I don't think JFF lets it happen with the championship on the line. We were both different teams by the end of the year. A&M was clicking on all cylinders. Blew out OU in our bowl and LSU lost theirs to Clemson I believe.

Since you are gonna pay for it, why not just pay for it now and have it made?

Why do we want a Cleveland Browns statue…
